Looking at a file with n references by hard links:
n=1 is the trivial case. No changes needed.
All involved directories are read-only: Another trivial case

For n>1:
I would suggest that the file is compressed and the directory
entries are adjusted accordingly, if the directories can be
written.
PS: All paths to the file have to be given on the gzip command line,
of course. I don't expect gzip to search for all references.
